Pretty sure it was in the Greek press he was on 35k euro but whether we paid all of that I don't know. We're they showing that as his fencerbache contract or his loan contract?
No, Tufan is our highest paid player, on around £20k a week. Seri and Oscar are on similar. Darlow was on £30k a week and Connolly was on about £21k p/w. Greaves, Jones and Macca are next on £15k, £10k and £10k respectively, if you believe the numbers.
Bardhi has an unbelievable freekick on him. If we somehow got him and Twine we'd have the two best takers in the league.
His loan contract would be the same, Fenerbahce's average wage is around £20k a week, only Batshuayi, Josh King (lol), Joao Pedro, Enner Valencia, William Aro and Alioski (ex Leeds) are on more.
List I saw had Tufan and Traore on more than oscar, but it's a daft argument really as the next accounts will lay the wage bill vs turnover bare soon enough. There's that many lists of estimates out there and they all vary pretty wildly. Here's another for example. https://salarysport.com/football/sky-bet-championship/hull-city/
I remember reading last year that Adama accepted nearly half from us what Hatayspor were offering for him to renew.
Maybe so. It's all guesstimates - the only thing that's really solid info is thet the club are mindful of exceeding FFP and numbers like these are not exactly dispelling that myth.
Traore I have as on £10k per week, which kind of makes sense. If he has a good first half of this season, which I suspect he will, I'd tie him down to a longer contract.
Acun's 'vision' is for the general public to have cheap tickets and nice perks etc and the club's finances to be heavily supported by local and Turkish businesses. They literally have someone working full time trying to get Turkish businesses to sign up to sponsorship/marketing deals who might want a presence in the UK. This is great as it increases the revenue for the club but it does potentially price out a lot of local businesses. Acun has a house he rents in the Ferriby area (mad when he never seems to stay here) and saw the size of the houses down Swanland Hill and decided to whack the marketing/sponsorship prices right up as he got the impression there was some decent money in businesses around here. The marketing/sponsorship prices are much higher this year (I've just signed up for a couple for our business). It is worth it though as cheaper tickets mean more crowds which means more exposure for the business.
It's a sound idea if it can come off, there's money in this region and obviously Turkish businesses looking to come across to the UK will definitely boost us. IIRC Ali Koc was given a CBE for something to do with improving investment between Turkey and the UK.
10k seems low given he's been rated a 10m player, been at Monaco, Metz and Hatayspor. But yeah, if he's on that 'low' a deal then I agree with you.
Ulker has clearly been here for a reason, but wouldn't it more likely be one of his other brands looking for a foothold as opposed to mcvities, which is a household name with a national brand identity already?
Haha no, they are a different company in the same field. Our marketing with Hull City starts this coming season. You'll see us on a lot of social media posts along with some advertising boards.
Ah I did wonder as their website has a City shirt hanging in a Director's office, thought you may be unmasked unintentionally!
